Incredible Quiche
A savory quiche with crispy bacon, melted cheese, and onion, blended with a creamy milk and biscuit mixture, perfect for brunch or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the bacon, cheese, and onion and sprinkle over a large buttered pie plate or quiche dish.
- Place the milk, biscuit mix, eggs, salt, and pepper into a blender and blend well.
- Pour this mixture into the dish over the other ingredients.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 55 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. If you're out of biscuit mix, a homemade alternative can include flour, baking powder, and salt. You can customize your quiche with other ingredients like spinach or mushrooms, similar to American recipes like Pork And Acorn Squash. Always taste the mixture before baking, adjusting salt and pepper to your preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your incredible quiche warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Pair it with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. It also goes well with sides like Cheddar Bacon Rounds for a delightful spread. Consider serving it alongside a light soup, such as Hungry Man'S Soup, for a comforting combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for quick meals, but the texture may not be as crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Assemble it and store it in the refrigerator unbaked. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you bake it straight from the fridge. This is a great way to enjoy a hearty breakfast without the morning rush.
What can I substitute for bacon?
If you're looking for a vegetarian option, you can replace the bacon with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Alternatively, cooked sausage or ham can be used if you still want a meat flavor. This flexibility allows you to cater to different dietary preferences while still enjoying a delicious quiche.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when it is golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. It might still jiggle slightly in the middle but will continue to set as it cools. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
